2023 VGMA: Social media users react to the snubs and surprises

The annual Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, which came off on Saturday, May 6, saw a plethora of acts put on their best performances at the Grand Arena.

Many of them were awarded for their work in the year under review.

One of the big contenders of the night, Piesie Esther, walked home with two awards namely Best Gospel Song with Waye Me Yie and the Best Gospel Artiste of the Year.

Meanwhile, King Promise won the Best Afrobeats/Afropop Artiste of the Year and Album of the Year Awards. Black Sherif as predicted by some won the overall Artiste of the Year award, Best Hip-Hop Song, Best Music Video and Most Popular Song of the Year award.

However, as expected some people are unhappy, while others are okay, with the awards given and the performances. Social media users had varied reactions to the 2023 VGMA.

Big Congratulations to Black sherif X Gyakie. I really love them both ??

VGMA should stop that nonsense where they deprive a deserving an artiste of one award just because they are going to win a different award they deserve too. How is Blacko’s album not album of the year???? How????? Have they listened to the material? The impact?? Nonsense

This VGMA people are not reasonable at all, I’ve never taken them serious since they robbed larruso off the dancehall artiste of the year. Very poor from them
